Elf Emperor, professional vase

Chapter 36

Facing Su Bai's invitation again, Meng Wen'an couldn't say no no matter what.

Silence spread between the two men.

Su Bai actually didn't realize his dependence and specialness on Meng Wen'an. He just instinctively wanted to stay with Meng Wen'an, which would make him feel at ease.

But when Meng Wen'an was silent, Su Bai suddenly realized that he seemed to have made the other party difficult.

After realizing this, Su Bai quickly said, "I'm sorry, Brother Meng, did I make things difficult for you? Actually, it doesn't matter if I don't come..."

"No difficulty."

Meng Wen'an interrupted Su Bai, "I will do it as soon as possible."

"Then..." Su Bai said tentatively, "I'll wait for you?"

"Yeah." Meng Wen'an responded, as if he was worried that Su Bai would think he was perfunctory, so he added, "It won't be long."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Wen'an looked at the night scene outside the window, feeling a little lost.

Su Bai didn't think too much. After hanging up the phone, he took out the parts of the recurve bow and assembled them skillfully.

After installing the bow string, his fingers gently rubbed the bow string. After a while, Su Bai carefully stored it on the bow stand.

Bows and arrows used to be Su Bai's most familiar weapons and toys, but here, they seemed to have completely turned into toys.

The depth of winter is coming quietly. At the Wangze City Airport, all the passengers coming and going are tightly wrapped in their down jackets, but occasionally there will be pedestrians who want to be more elegant than warm. It is obvious that Su Bai is one of them.

The meeting place designated by the program team was a very quiet building surrounded by forests. Even with the cold wind, the holly trees were still green and neatly trimmed, separating small gardens one after another.

Inside the garden, there are trees that have been pruned to only their branches, quietly waiting for the arrival of spring.

Su Bai stopped in front of a beautifully decorated door. After carefully checking the house number, he rang the doorbell.

No one answered. Just when Su Bai was about to ring the doorbell again, the door clicked and slowly opened inward.

After the door opened, there was a very delicately maintained courtyard inside. Walking along the gravel path, a wide open door appeared in front of Su Bai.

He walked in curiously, but there was no one inside. The curtains were drawn, warm yellow lights were shining, and there were a few dolls thrown on the sofa.

Suddenly, Su Bai's eyes stopped on several envelopes on the table.

He picked up one casually. The envelope was unsealed. After thinking for a while, Su Bai opened the seal with his index finger. Inside was a card with a red plum painted on it.

The plum blossoms were painted using traditional techniques. Su Bai brought it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. It was probably not printed.

Just when Su Bai was thinking, there was movement from the door, and soon, a familiar figure from Su Bai ran in.

"Su Bai?" Yu Qin stopped, a little surprised, "You came so early?"

Su Bai nodded, but did not speak.

Yu Qin coughed and saw Su Bai holding an envelope in his hand. He walked over and picked up the envelope and took out the card inside. A cluster of ink orchid came to life.

"Orchid?" Yu Qin asked Su Bai, "What is yours?"

Su Bai showed his card to Yu Qin, "Plum blossom."

Yu Qin obviously had more variety show experience than Su Bai. He rolled his eyes and quickly opened the remaining two letters.

Sure enough, of the remaining two envelopes, one contained plum blossoms and the other contained orchids.

It's just that the details are slightly different.

Yu Qin put the card against his chin and guessed: "According to the general variety show process, maybe the card in this envelope is for us to choose, and then there will be a team of people with the same flower."

As he spoke, Yu Qin skillfully put back his clump of ink orchids and picked up the plum blossom, "Xiao Bai, can we be a team later?"

Su Bai looked at the plum blossom on the card in his hand and said thoughtfully, "What if a plum blossom and an orchid team up?"

Yu Qin:......

Yu Qin hesitated, "Probably... no?"

Behind the monitor, director Du Lei touched his chin. He suddenly felt that Yu Qin's proposal was very good.

According to Du Lei's original plan, plum blossoms and orchids were used to differentiate. The original intention was to make the grouping more flexible.

But thinking about the next plan, Du Lei showed an enigmatic smile.

Variety shows always have to be exciting to watch.

Because of the previous troubles, almost all the originally scheduled guests were gone, leaving only Su Bai and Yu Qin.

The other two guests were invited by Du Lei after spending a lot of time and connections.

In fact, if you just invite guests, some lesser-known celebrities are still willing to participate. Although the broadcast time is relatively slim and the popularity after the broadcast may not be very high, as long as they can afford the money, people will naturally be willing to come.

But the terrible thing is that Du Lei also has requirements for the strength of the guests, so he is so busy that he almost stops the program.

Fortunately, Du Lei could accept the final result.

Except for Su Bai and Yu Qin, the other two guests are all women. One is a very capable actress, but she always lacks a little luck and is tepid.

The other one is a female singer. The biggest problem is that her songs are more popular than her peers, but her acting skills are acceptable, at least enough to act in idol dramas.

Originally, according to Du Lei's plan, the four people were divided into two teams, one male and one female, who happened to be the male and female protagonists respectively.

But now... Du Lei changed his mind.

"A man disguises himself as a woman, and a woman disguises herself as a man. Isn't this the explosive point?"

At this time, Su Bai and Yu Qin, who were unaware of the director's sudden bad taste, looked at each other.

Although Su Bai knew Yu Qin and had collaborated on a movie, in Su Bai's perception, he was not familiar with Yu Qin.

Su Bai has always been relatively alienated from people he is not familiar with, so Su Bai is very puzzled as to why Yu Qin recommended him.

But obviously, it was very unwise to ask this question under the camera, so Su Bai did not speak.

But Yu Qin thought that Su Bai was still angry with him, so he didn't dare to speak. After sitting down, he only dared to stare at Su Bai secretly.

The scene immediately fell into an awkward silence.

The photographer responsible for following the photo looked at his nose and his eyes, and his nose looked at his heart, and he pretended that he did not exist.

But the director behind the monitor was a little anxious, so he just sat there. When the editing comes out, what else will the audience watch?

Fortunately, the director's suffocating silence did not last long.

Su Bai's ears twitched and he looked at the door. Yu Qin also followed Su Bai's movements and looked at the door.

but……

Yu Qin stretched his neck and looked for a long time but didn't see anything at the door. He turned his head and nudged towards Su Bai hesitantly. Seeing that Su Bai didn't respond, he moved a little closer. The voice said, "What are you looking at?"

Su Bai always felt that Yu Qin's attitude towards him was a bit strange. Although he had never hit the smiling man before, he also whispered: "The last two guests are arriving soon."

"Really?" Yu Qin simply got up and ran to the door. He looked around and saw nothing but the photographer following him.

He said very familiarly, "Xiaobai, are you mistaken? I didn't see anyone!"

Su Bai said calmly, "I heard it."

Yu Qin's eyes lit up for a moment, and he immediately came to Su Bai's side, "I heard that people who are particularly good at archery can even hear the sound and argue. Could it be said that you just heard the sound?"

Su Bai nodded.

"Then can you tell how far away they are?" Yu Qin immediately asked with interest.

How can this be judged?

After hearing Yu Qin's question, the photographers present couldn't help but think in their hearts. Even if you are pretending to be cool, you still need to talk about some basic rules, right?

And there is a difference between listening and speaking and listening to the wind.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Su Bai said with certainty: "Less than a hundred meters."

Photographer: ...

The photographers responsible for following the photo glanced at each other secretly, and they all saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

Is this a random creation of a character? Aren't you afraid that when the variety show airs, you will be removed from the show and ridiculed? Do you really think that Li Guang is alive?

Behind the camera, Du Lei had already grabbed the walkie-talkie and contacted the photographer who was following the other two guests, "How far is it from you to the meeting point?"

After two beeps, a strange male voice came from the intercom, "We're almost there, just another hundred or so meters!"

After putting down the walkie-talkie, Du Lei looked at Su Bai in the camera, his eyes full of disbelief.

Is this something that humans can do?

The average person's normal speaking voice can't be heard about twenty or thirty meters away. People with good hearing probably have to go a little further, but about a hundred meters away, they basically can't hear human voices.

What's more, it's daytime now, and there are still the sounds of machines running, cars and other non-motorized vehicles, and children playing... The possibility of accurately distinguishing the voices of the other two guests is even lower.

"How did he do it?" Du Lei muttered.

Hearing Su Bai tell an accurate number, Yu Qin was stunned.

In fact, Yu Qin never thought that Su Bai would give an accurate number. He just wanted to find a reason to talk to Su Bai.

Otherwise, the two of them would remain silent, and the atmosphere would be too awkward.

After Yu Qin was stunned for a while, he asked again, "What about now?"

Su Bai tilted his head slightly, as if listening, "About seventy meters."

"Thirty meters."

When he reached ten meters, Su Bai had already stood up. After briefly adjusting his clothes, he walked to the door.

Yu Qin also imitated Su Bai's movements and walked over to stand on the other side.

Not far away, two women carrying suitcases came over.

The one on the left is dressed in smart attire, with long hair tied into a high ponytail. He looks handsome and dashing.

The overall style of the one on the right is more ladylike, and she also looks quieter.

After approaching, the capable woman took the lead in saying hello, "Hello, I'm Wen Songqiao."

"I am Deng Hanyu."

"Yu Qin."

"Su Bai."

After saying hello, Su Bai went to take the suitcase from Wen Songqiao's hand and said obediently, "Sister Wen, let me do it."

Yu Qin also took Deng Hanyu's suitcase, "Sister Deng, I'll come, I'll come, come in and warm up!"

Compared to Su Bai and Yu Qin, the two ladies wore thinner clothes.

Wen Songqiao was not polite to Su Bai. After entering the room, when Su Bai wasn't paying attention, she pinched his cheek with a smile.

Under Su Bai's astonished eyes, Wen Songqiao smiled and said, "Before coming here, Lao Meng specially asked me to ask Xiaoyu and I to take care of you when it was your first time filming a variety show. Who would have thought that I would be taken care of by you first?" Take care of it.”

Su Bai pursed her lips and said sheepishly, "How can that be considered taking care of you? It's obviously what you should do."

"Okay, let's stop arguing now," Deng Hanyu said with a smile, "You have been waiting at the door for a long time, right? Don't do this again in the future, it's so cold outside."

"No, no!" Yu Qin explained quickly, with a little pride in his voice, "Xiao Bai can listen and argue, we didn't go out until you were about to arrive!"

At this time, Wen Songqiao and Deng Hanyu were really surprised, "Really?"

"Xiaobai, how did you do it?"

"It's just that my ears are better." Su Bai said modestly.

But in fact, neither Wen Songqiao nor Deng Hanyu took it seriously. They just thought it was a joke between two young people, and soon changed the subject.

Wen Songqiao clicked on the two remaining envelopes on the table, "Are these for us?"

Deng Hanyu took one casually, "I don't know what the director did."

"They're all orchids."

"Maybe... it means two or two teams?"

"You guessed it right!" Director Du Lei's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. He brought a cardboard box in, "In the next month, you will rehearse a play with the troupe, and the rehearsed play will be performed by Decide by drawing lots.”

"Whoever comes first draws first."

"Go ahead." Yu Qin pushed Su Bai, "I'm very lucky!"

It was just a matter of drawing lots. Su Bai did not refuse. He put his hand into the cardboard box and picked up a card.

When the card was taken out, four words were printed on it, Phantom of the Theatre.

It wasn't until the other group also selected the repertoire that Du Lei said sternly, "Next, your task is to find the troupe based on the clues you have now."

After finishing speaking, Du Lei said very seriously, "You only have one month to rehearse. After that, the musical will be performed as a New Year's repertoire and will be performed to the public for free."

"The group with the most viewers wins, and the winner will win the leading role in the drama they will co-star in next, while the other two can only play supporting roles."

The rules sound quite simple, Su Bai thought silently in his heart.

"However, you don't have to worry too much." Du Lei said with a smile, "The program team has prepared a surprise for you. You will find out when you find the troupe."

Du Lei only gave vague clues like plum blossoms and orchids in order to create twists and turns for Su Bai and the others. The worse the guests are, the more the audience will love to watch.

However, what Du Lei never expected was that after being separated from the other two people, Su Bai took Yu Qin into a taxi and headed straight to the destination as if he knew the destination.

Yu Qin was stunned, "Why are you so sure?"

Su Bai tapped his ear and raised the corners of his lips, "I heard it."

Du Lei: ...

Seeing Su Bai and Yu Qin getting closer and closer to their destination, Du Lei murmured, "I should just take away your wallets and mobile phones... I am really too kind."

When he found Xiang Xinmei Troupe, Yu Qin was still a little surprised, but Su Bai had already stepped forward and handed over the card with plum blossoms on it, "Hello, we are here to apply."

Si Zhuo was wearing a long gown and holding a folding fan in his hand. His eyes turned around Su Bai and Yu Qin and said meaningfully, "There is a problem that you may need to solve internally first."

Seeing Su Bai and Yu Qin's confused faces, Si Zhuo raised the corners of his lips, "Which one of you will play the heroine?"

Su Bai:? ? ?

Yu Qin:! ! !
